GFP wild type (I'm assuming) no name yet. *pic with flash*

I got him from my lfs about a month ago. He was thin and a little beaten up. His gill feathers and stalks are starting to grow back finally and he is a little chunk now. I love the yellowish coloring on his face as well as his glowy green eyes. *pic without flash*

You tank looks great, that's a nice home you've made for your axie:D I have 2 gfp wildtype tweakers, but they are still tiny little peanuts just getting their back legs. Have you had a chance to see him glow yet?

@Martin: The black light I had on hand was quite small, so he didn't glow too bright. Plus being mostly dark colored and splotchy didn't help either.

And thank you both for the compliments :D

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
